Chapter 961 960 [The general trend is coming]

A very interesting scene is occurring in the official circles of the capital today.

As the battle between the two princes became more intense, most courtiers either actively or passively began to choose sides. At present, it seems that the supporters of Liu Xian and Liu Yun are generally in an equal position.

Of course, the conflict in the court will not be peaceful. In fact, there have been many impeachments and criticisms between the two groups of courtiers in the past two months. Liu Xian relied on his management over the years and the secret care of Concubine Wu, and he already had some power in the court.

Strength, after Pei Yue came forward to solve the most important righteousness issue for him, his power grew rapidly like mushrooms after a rain.

No matter in ancient or modern times, at home and abroad, there will never be a shortage of opportunists in the field of power.

The temptation to follow the dragon's power was too great, so after Liu Xian officially entered the game, people continued to defect to his command, acting as generals on the front line of the battle, launching a very fierce offensive against the courtiers of the second prince's line. Naturally, the opposite side also

It's not a good thing, after all, there aren't many people who have a clean bottom. It's just to see who will be caught by the other party and hurt their feet.

Pei Yue deliberately stayed away from the center these days, but he now has a complete intelligence system in the capital and is fully aware of the information on the surface. According to the summary data submitted by Deng Zai, the Secretary of General Affairs has been

Forty-seven impeachment memorials were received, involving officials ranging from the sixth minister to the seventh-rank official, including almost all yamen in the capital.

What’s interesting is that none of these impeachment memorials involve high-ranking officials of third rank or above, let alone the two princes at the center of the storm.

And on the surface, none of the senior officials of the third rank or above, namely the important ministers of the East Palace, the six ministers, and even the heads of various important yamen, have publicly expressed their support for which prince, although private collusion is difficult to prevent.

As for the secret communication between Wang Pingzhang and the second prince, Pei Yue and Liu Xian were well aware of it.

Liu Xian frowned slightly and said: "It makes sense, but I don't know how Wang Pingzhang convinced the second child afterwards. At least for now, it seems that they are still on the same boat."

"Yes or no."

It's actually improved a bit compared to before. As for the promise he made...

Liu Xian fell into deep thought. Faced with this seemingly simple question, he couldn't help but think of many past events, and said slowly: "The Queen has a serious and cautious temperament. Of course, this has something to do with the father, so she treats the old lady

The control of the second child is relatively strict. But after the second child grew up and opened a family, he gradually became disobedient to discipline because of his status as the eldest son, and became more and more paranoid, making it difficult to get along with him."

Pei Yue said unhurriedly: "Your Highness, it has been seen in history since ancient times that the success of a plan does not depend on how perfect the layout stage is, because manpower will eventually be exhausted, and uncontrollable changes may occur at any time. This will

This leads to deviations in the development of the situation. Therefore, the layout is just a prelude and foreshadowing. The most important thing is to clearly understand the temperament and thoughts of the people in the game."

Pei Yue sneered in his heart. According to his research on Wang Pingzhang's past deeds, this old fox probably had the idea of ​​​​putting himself to death and reliving, but there were some words hidden in his heart. It was not the time to be honest with him yet.

He took a sip of tea and talked eloquently: "For example, the Beijiao Xiaoyuan situation was actually very rough in hindsight, but the reason why it was successful was because the people who entered the situation were paranoid and wanted to try it when they got the chance.

For such a person, as long as I reveal some flaws, he will be eager to bite the hook."

Pei Yue nodded and said: "The interaction between me and this person is just a trivial matter, which is boring to say. I just want to ask your highness a question, what kind of person is the second prince?"

"If you are close, you will feel inferior; if you are far, you will resent." Pei Yue said concisely and concisely.

Hearing Pei Yue's meaningful rhetorical question at this moment, Liu Xian was stunned for a short time, as if a bolt of lightning struck his mind, and many things suddenly became clear to him. Then he asked in disbelief: "Why did Wang Pingzhang do this?

"

Looking at Pei Yue's gentle eyes, Liu Xian said with shame: "I thought you wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sell the Duzhong property to induce the second son to misappropriate the bank deposits of the Ministry of Industry, and then have someone suddenly launch an impeachment to convict him in one fell swoop.

I have a reputation for being stupid. Now it seems that I thought too superficially after all."

Liu Xian did not continue to ask about Pei Yue's detailed arrangements. He naturally understood the reason why things should be kept secret. He just said with a sincere expression: "Pei Yue, only with your help this time can I have a chance to realize my ambition. No matter what happens in the future.

Even if the situation changes, I will never forget the friendship today."

Pei Yue said calmly: "Actually, I have been preparing. Of course, whether this game is a bait depends on whether the second prince will jump into the trap. If he really misappropriates the bank deposits of the Ministry of Industry, it will save us a lot of trouble.

The reason why the Tian family wants to set up a separate treasury is to distinguish it from the imperial court to avoid financial problems of the imperial court. Not to mention that he is only a prince now, even your majesty cannot misappropriate the imperial government's money at will."

Liu Xian was convinced of this and asked: "What if he didn't do this?"

He suppressed these reveries and said with a normal expression: "Although there will be no blood in this battle, I will do my best. Your Highness, please watch it quietly."

Although Pei Yue tried his best to speak in a humorous and straightforward manner, Liu Xian still felt a little struggling.

Liu Xian nodded and said, "Yes, that's what it means."

He paused for a moment, and his eyes flashed slightly: "Because I had no intention of using this obvious trap to trick the second prince. Moreover, Liu Fei had just stepped on a similar trap not long ago. In any case, there is the empress behind the second prince."

, there is always someone with good sense to stop him from jumping into the pit."

Liu Xian tried his best to keep up with his rhythm, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, and said softly: "So today's situation is just a bait, have you made more thorough preparations?"

Pei Yue smiled and continued: "Looking at it from this point of view, the second prince is ambitious, but he has no ability to support his ambition. He especially lacks foresight and has no habit of constant self-reflection."

As for the details that Liu Xian should address Queen Chen as his mother, neither of them paid much attention to it.

Pei Yue sighed slightly in his heart and couldn't help but think of those stories in history books. In fact, he has seen many examples nowadays, such as Emperor Zhongzong and Pei Yuan, Emperor Kaiping and Pei Zhen, Emperor Kaiping and Wang Pingzhang, and even Emperor Kaiping and

himself.

Liu Xian then asked: "Lin He?"

Today’s friendship?

That’s all.

Pei Yue said calmly: "Then the bait is a blinding trick. If you want to make people die, you will make them crazy."

He followed Liu Xian's words and continued: "I'm also very curious. Regardless of how the two of them can be as close as before, even if Wang Pingzhang can see my intention to sell the property this time, even if he can conscientiously

Remind the second prince that even if the second prince adopts his suggestion regardless of past suspicions and does not use a single cent from the Ministry of Industry, I will not care."

The smile on Pei Yue's face became brighter and he said leisurely: "In that case, why did Wang Pingzhang clearly see that I might have set up a trap in the night attack in the northern suburbs, and tried every means to get Wang Jiuxuan to leave, but he didn't want to

Remind Liu Fei, causing him to

Has the road gone dark? Your Highness, Liu Fei has helped the second prince manage the bamboo house and made money over the years. He has worked hard without any credit. He can definitely be regarded as a close confidant of the second prince. If Wang Pingzhang is really a staunch ally of the second prince, wouldn't he be afraid of the second prince by doing this?

Chilling?"

As he said in front of Emperor Kaiping, he is not good at planning. Perhaps this is the reason why Emperor Kaiping has been vacant as crown prince. If Liu Xian wants to become a qualified crown prince, he still needs to grow up.

The experience of time.

Liu Xian pondered: "Wang Pingzhang is a Zuojunji. He has stood in the court for forty years and has many cronies in the army. Even if he only speaks out to support at critical moments, it is the best support for the second brother. After all,

My father must also consider the attitude of the military."

It doesn't matter if he can't compare to a freak like Pei Yue. After all, the country has only produced two similar figures, Lin Qingyuan and Pei Yuan, in the past hundred years. At least he must be able to gradually hone his ability to analyze and make decisions in complicated situations.

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Compared with this, I am more curious about another thing. Why does the second prince believe in Wang Pingzhang? Or what kind of support can the old fox give him?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "At the beginning of the sixth year of Kaiping, when I just came back from the Western Region, I had an encounter with the second prince. The reason was that he was instigated by others and wanted to force the Nanqin girl to accompany him. Your Highness should know that Nanqin

Qin is my brother Gu

How can Fan's lover do such things as serving people again? Even if Gu Fan and I don't have enough face, does the Guangping Houfu have enough face? He clearly knows these joints, but he still does that kind of behavior. It can be seen that there is no such thing as

There is no image of a king."

These words made Liu Xian slightly embarrassed, because he had also been greedy for Xiangyun at the beginning, and suffered a big loss at the hands of Pei Yue, and he only began to mature after that.

Before Liu Xian could say a few beautiful words, Deng Zai's voice suddenly came from outside. After getting Pei Yue's permission, he walked in with a brochure and an excited look on his face.

After seeing the ceremony, Pei Yue said: "There is no need to pretend in front of His Highness, just speak frankly."

Deng Zai accepted the order, bowed his head and said: "Master, Qinyuan shares have been successfully sold."

Pei Yue smiled slightly, lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "It's time to start."
